Answer:

-9

Explanation:

You are given a point and a slope, so you can write the equation of the line in point-slope form:

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line of slope m through point (h, k)

y -7 = 4(x +5) . . . . using the given point

Putting in the x- and y-values of the other point, we have ...

-9 -7 = 4(w +5)

-4 = w +5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

-9 = w . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

The value of w is -9.
